"[Live] is the established server that we used for the Xbox 360 version - that's the main reason we picked it," Namco Bandai producer Daisuke Uchiyama told EDGE.

"But the partnership decision is still ongoing. We might have another announcement soon regarding the platform we'll be using."

After the announcement of Dark Souls for PC, fans made their disappointment known with the decision to use Games for Windows Live. A petition to release the title on PC without Games for Windows Live has already reached over 20,000 signatures.

Namco Bandai has said that it was another online petition that helped to convince the publisher to port the title to PC.
